Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects caused by contact, an electrical short, or dielectric breakdown. A buildup of static electricity can be caused by tribocharging or by electrostatic induction. The ESD occurs when differently-charged objects are brought close together or when the dielectric between them breaks down, often creating a visible spark.
SAFETY TIPS FOR REFUELLING To minimise the build up of static charge and to control the effects of static discharge: Switch off your engine Turn your vehicle engine off and disable any other auxiliary sources of ignition (e.g. camper or trailer heater, pilot lights, cooking units) to avoid the generation of sparks.
